[mc] [mc-devel] Soft wrappings of long lines in mcedit

[Yury V. Zaytsev]

Hi Sebastian,

You are more than welcome to pursue your fork of mc and seek contract 
assignments for implementing specific features in your fork, but please do 
it at the venues that are not associated with this project.

Given the history of your submissions and your reactions to our reviews, 
it is unlikely that your patches will ever reach the state which is 
required for them to be accepted. Your communication strategy is likewise 
problematic, in as far as I'm concerned.

In my opinion, it is dishonest to seek funding on mc lists for something 
that you are unlikely to deliver (upstreaming of your patches), and I 
don't want the readers to get an impression that we are as a project 
support this.

-- 
Sincerely yours,
Yury V. Zaytsev
